All worry about where you are at with God and His purposes vanishes away when you realise and accept and embrace this spiritual reality and FACT.
John 14:20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
There is no greater revelation. There is no greater teaching.
This is not meant to be a word for when you arrive in Heaven up there someday.
This is your state of being NOW in Jesus.
SELAH
It does not matter which way you turn this diamond it gleams with the perfection of God.
Jesus says: I am in my father….and you are in me….and I am in you.
That means that everything I am He is!!
And everything He is I am!!
It means what it always meant to Jesus. That if you have seen me you have seen the Father. If you have seen me you have seen Jesus. Oh but I thought Jesus was in heaven you say? Yes He is and where do you suppose heaven is my beloved? Jesus told you where heaven is many times. I am in my Father in you!!
All this separation we like to keep intact is what keep s the church in darkness. When the church comes to truly grasp their own reality then Churchianity will cease to exist. We will have come to the next age in our experience-Tabernacles. Pentecost is over and God has moved on. He does that so that we will follow Him outside the camp in our thinking at least, if not physically.
If all you want to see is a man about 6 feet tall sitting on a throne in Jerusalem….then be prepared to wait in a queue for over a thousand years to spend just a few minutes with him. We do not know Jesus after the flesh any longer but according to the spirit.
And by the spirit he told us plainly that he was going to the Father…..and that He is in the Father and you are in Him and He is in you. Jesus did not go anywhere far away. The Father is spirit and cannot be seen or touched or known in any way EXCEPT through Jesus the Man—who became a life giving spirit so that He now dwells in your spirit AS YOU. Thus to know Father is to accept that you and He are ONE.
You will not get to know Father by dieing and going to a faraway place called Heaven! He is in you. He is YOU!!…Yet you are still there too….but the you you are is a new you called Christ the new man.
When you walk into a place, even if you are feeling down that day…you are heaven’s glory walking in there. There is no need to try to be like heaven. You are heaven. There is no need to try to be like Jesus for in the trying you deny the truth that you and Jesus are one spirit revealed as you.
So we can rest and really be ourselves trusting Father in all situations. If you come to accept this great truth and reality you make yourself an enemy of most Christians who insist, through blindness, on seeing themselves as separate and responsible to do something to be like Jesus.
That is called self righteousness–it stinks.
